The baby wants to eat all of our food
I prefer you not have that
Our nickname for Saioa is lunchbox. She will eat anything you put in front of her and she demands that you give her whatever you are eating as well. She’s made it clear that she will not tolerate baby food anymore. As soon as she sees me opening the jar she starts turning her head and fussing.
I don’t think I’ve necessarily spoiled her, but she’s had a taste of real food and now that’s all she wants. So for the most part I make her baby food, which is SO easy with our awesome immersion blender. We had that thing for years and never used it, now I use it almost every day. I try to keep fresh vegetables on hand to make for her meals, but I also stock the freezer with frozen veggies for days when I’m out of fresh food or I just don’t have time to peel, chop and steam.
She used to eat that really well but now if she sees us eating something she immediately rejects her meal and demands to have ours. If one of us is in the kitchen she wastes no time crawling over to see what we’re snacking on. My husband is notorious for eating over the sink, so she speed crawls over to him before he finishes it all.
Sometimes I have to tell Serophina to eat her snack in hiding so Saioa won’t see it! Isn’t that awful? We share whatever we can with her but there are some things that she just can’t have… like a chocolate granola bar, or a PB and honey sandwich.
I just hope that this love of food that she has will stay with her through the toddler years. (Yeah right!)
